Top pick: #6 (SANGAREE) - Talented runner finished a solid second here to today's rival "Calibrachoa" in the 7 furlong Bold Ruler S.(G3) on Nov. 6. Race was his first in two months and only his third since returning from the mid-east last spring. Makes back to back starts and has a shapr 5-furlong work six days ago in preparation for this.
2nd pick: #1a (Caixa Electronica) - He's part of a Pletcher trained entry with No. 1 "Calibrachoa" and the pair will almost be certainly favored in this spot. Four of his 15 lifetime wins have come at this mile trip and he'll be plenty tough this afternoon.
3rd pick: #5 (To Honor and Serve) - He comes back quickly afrer a solid effort in the Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) at Churchill three weeks ago. Has the ability and he's a perfect two for two on this surface. Three-year-old has a 5-furlong bullet breeze six days ago that says he's set for a big effort.
